A Master Guide to Ingredient & Recipe Substitutes
The last list of recipe, cooking, and baking substitutes you may need!
I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been midway through a recipe, scrolled down to read the rest of the ingredients, only to realize I’m missing an integral ingredient. I’m sure the vast majority of you actually read through the recipe all the way before you begin making it (I’m getting better at this), but I typically have not and it has gotten me into some trouble. Needless to say, I have become familiar with substitutes!
This list is intended to be a go to and a master directory of sorts for baking and cooking substitutes you may need. I have hyperlinked as many as I can think of and for which have frequently needed substitutes. If I’m missing any you’d like me to add, please comment below!
